The monsoon season brings much-needed relief from the summer heat—but it also brings a spike in infections and allergies. Here’s how you can stay healthy during the rains:
1. Avoid Street Food: Waterborne illnesses like typhoid, cholera, and stomach infections are common. Stick to home-cooked meals and avoid raw or uncovered food.
2. Boost Your Immunity: Include vitamin C-rich fruits like oranges and amla. Herbal teas, turmeric milk, and garlic also help strengthen your immune system.
3. Keep Skin & Feet Dry: Fungal infections thrive in moisture. Wear open footwear, dry your feet thoroughly, and use antifungal powders if needed.
4. Watch Out for Mosquitoes: Stagnant water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes, increasing the risk of dengue and malaria. Use repellents, nets, and ensure proper drainage at home.
5. Protect Children & Elders: They are more vulnerable during this season. Ensure they stay warm, dry, and hydrated. Avoid crowded places if there’s a viral outbreak.
6. See a Doctor Promptly: If you notice high fever, rashes, breathing difficulty, or persistent vomiting, don’t wait. Visit your doctor to avoid complications.
